Bibb County, GA – A routine traffic stop turned into a felony arrest this week after a Bibb County deputy discovered a wanted suspect behind the wheel.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, H.E.A.T. Unit Deputy Dalton Palmer was patrolling Rocky Creek Road when he observed a Ford Mustang change lanes without signaling. Deputy Palmer conducted a traffic stop and, with assistance from H.E.A.T. Unit Sgt. Reginald Tillman, arrested the driver.
Authorities later confirmed the suspect was wanted on two felony warrants out of Houston County. The Sheriff’s Office did not release the suspect’s name but noted that the arrest stemmed from proactive traffic enforcement efforts aimed at improving roadway safety and removing wanted individuals from the community.
The Bibb County H.E.A.T. Unit—short for Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic—routinely monitors local roads for violations that often lead to the discovery of more serious crimes.
No injuries were reported during the incident. The Sheriff’s Office continues to coordinate with Houston County authorities regarding the suspect’s extradition and pending charges.
